This book is about
Kwame learned to ski by going in his spare time to practice in places like the Snowdome in Milton Keynes and later in the Alps.
He became good at skiing and qualified for the 2010 Olympics in Canada.
The main characters are
Kwame, the Olympic skier.
My favourite part of the book is
When Kwame completes the ski course at the 2010 Olympics.
I would also like to say
Kwame was very sporty as a child and could run faster than the other kids.
